Painting, at least the way I do it, is a lot like building a house. It seems to take forever to get the groundwork done and the foundation laid, but then the superstructure itself can seemingly go up overnight.

Similarly, over the last few weeks I've been pouring foundations (sketches, drawings, underpaintings) for about 10 pieces. The good news is that they're all ready for the final painting phase; which means I should have a fairly regular flow of finished paintings coming up.
